District (Section 1005.07) pertaining to clarifying languages and uses. Chair Duncan opened the hearing and requested the City Planner provide a summary of the project report dated November 6, 2002. Thomas Paschke advised that in December 2001 , the City of Roseville adopted the new B-6 Mixed Use Office Park zoning district text. Since then there have been a series of discussions with properties owners and attorneys about the permitted uses and the non-conforming uses allowed by the new text. It was clear from those discussions that the December 2001 ordinance to describe these permitted uses was not complete, nor flexible enough. He indicated that the staff prepared an update to the language which adds the permitted uses. The ordinance does not deal with the issue of pre-existing non-conforming uses which, at a later time, will be dealt with in all zoning districts, not just the B-6 zone. Member Mulder reiterated his concern that "big box retail" may move into Twin Lakes area. Thomas Paschke advised any action would need to meet Master Plan criteria, and processed under the PUD concept and be reviewed by the Planning Commission and council. Member Mulder asked that Thomas get back to him on this matter. The Commission discussed terminology and definition of "limited retail". Member Traynor questioned (line 6, b2) terminology "with warehousing". Thomas Paschke indicated that many times a product is produced and storage of this product is necessary. Commission questioned word "high tech". There being no further comments, the Chair closed the hearing. Motion: Member Mulder moved, seconded by Member Bakeman, to recommend approval, as amended, of the proposed "use" amendments to the B-6, "Mixed Use Business Park District" as consistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive land Use Plan definition and designation.
